So what you’re saying is that any president would prioritize corporate profit over national security? Agreed, though I’m unsure why you’re defending that course of action. This isn’t some deal that would cripple Nvidia, they are making money hand over fist right now, this is effort by the Chinese government to get access to stronger Nvidia compute hardware to strengthen their AI capability, likely for cyberwarfare

I think they want to continue to make hand over first kind of money. If the gold veneer house came out with straight up accusations that Huang was dumb because he was spied on, I'm sure there is a whole rat's tail of procedures that need to be followed. And some of those would surely impede Nvidia's ability to rake it in like that and it may lead to a change in company leadership as well. And Huang is a buddy. Whatever the NYT writes is just "fake news" so they can ignore that like they do all the other proven lies.

I'm also thinking somebody in the clown car is aware of how bubbly this so-called AI economy is and that the two time peace prize runner up should try and not poke a needle needlessly before the midterms.

After I wrote my earlier reply, I was also thinking the motivation could be so much simpler. The orange, one of his kids he likes, or somebody else he knows is heavily invested in Nvidia. This could just be grift and greed as well.
